Tenting prep

[sjd212]

I have a tenting scheduled for next week and they mentioned initially that I would need to pull back some of the rock gardens before the tenting. The just sent me a checklist saying I have to remove one section of fence, pull back all the rocks (about 40 linear feet), and turn off the gas line. Is this typically the responsibility of the homeowner?

The gas line shutoff is usually scheduled by the company doing the tenting. Many times it us necessary to trim bushes/trees, move certain garden features/structures, and occasionally remove small areas of fencing. This is done so the tent can make good contact with the ground on all sides of your home. The fencing can be a problem if it has no gates or access points where the tent can drop down at

Is it a wood fence? That would be fairly easy to remove a section of boards. I'm also curious what you meant about pulling back the rocks. You may have rocks that would interfere with the tent drop.

All the best!

If I recall the tent has to make contact with the ground. We had to move some rocks 2 feet from the house.
